I live in a middle to upper-middle class neighborhood. About a week ago one of my neighbors put a medium sized camper trailer in front of their home. I have noticed that there are people living in the trailer… but this seems so far fetched to me I don’t know what to make of it.

Perhaps these people would be otherwise homeless (bad economy). If that is the case, I don’t want to bother them.

#####HOWEVER#####

There is a background history with this family. They own two homes (cousins), across the street from each other. After the mom passed, the house was left empty. They had a homeless man living in it for a long time. He was acting as a security guard.

I walk my dog every morning and late evening. In time, this man noticed me and began watching me. Soon, he began standing in front of my house. One day, he approached a friend of mine that looks like me. At that point, I called the police.

The police checked his history, which was “erased” and this was questionable to the police. Long story short, the man suddenly disappeared. I thought the drama with these people was over.

One night there were 4 police cars in front of their home.

They have huge moving trucks in their home very often; I don’t know what for.

They don’t fit in with the neighborhood. Every here works business hours and have quite happy families.

I do not want to be prejudice but from what I have seen of them so far, it’s really hard not to be.

Should I not call the city (as I am sure they are breaking some ordinance or can be considered a fire hazard, etc). I really want to mind my own business but the last time I did that, I had a homeless man stalking me.

Maybe these people in the camper are totally decent and safe people. I don’t know. What should I do? Objective third opinions needed. Please don’t be pointless or rude.

Thanks!!!
In a great sense, my dog offers me security. When the homeless man lived in that house (for about a year!), my dog would sit at the window at night and growl like mad. He would get furious. This was before I even noticed the homeless man was standing outside the house he was living in, in the dark. Even now as I’m writing this, it’s hard to believe.
The account with no name: Good point and thank you for bringing this up. I have actually wondered this myself. This family does have too many people living in that house to begin with. I don’t know what to make of it but leaning towards leaving them alone but having the police number on speed dial.
When the homeless man was living in the house, I asked the neighbor that lived in the house across from mine (she sold her home and moved about a month ago). She has two daughters. She told me he used to look at her girls and so she stopped allowing them to play outside.

The neighbors to the left of me moved around the same time. I am being left with very few people to talk to. I live at the end of a cul de sac.
